Pitchers & Catchers Report to Ft. Myers

Saturday, December 23, 2006

Well, it's that time of year again. The holidays are here and it's time to enjoy ourselves. Everyone knows about Christmas and Hanukkah and all of its traditions. But there's one holiday that always seems to be overlooked.

Why is it that Santa Claus gets all this pub, but the great holiday of Festivus seems to get relegated to the back burner?

(I would have loved to have seen "A Charlie Brown Festivus," but you can't have everything in life I guess.)

But fortunately, our "patron saint" of Festivus, Frank Costanza (pictured), brought the holiday to the forefront of the attention of the American public with one of the funniest "Seinfeld" episodes ever, "The Strike," in 1997. God bless him.

Forget the phony tinsel and goodwill. Break out the pole, show your feats of strength, get down on the floor and wrestle, and air out your grievances!

About Me

I work as a background actor in movies and TV here in New York City, and I am also a Trivia host.

I am also "Lt. Guvna of Trivial Things" of Red Sox Nation-NY. BTW, I am NOT the guy who writes that column for the New York Daily News. (He's not a Red Sox fan.) I also follow the New York Mets (NL), the Minnesota Vikings, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, the New York Islanders and Liverpool FC (I was a fan long before John Henry took over), as my favorite sports teams.

I welcome all email (no spam please), especially if you'd like to exchange links or have any trivia feedback, at: jbq1462@hotmail.com.

I am looking to expand my Trivia Empire to other establishments, so if you know a place looking for a Trivia host, please drop me an email about it.
